First Things First

Prioritize accurately and say no with a clear conscience

I have noticed that many find it difficult to prioritize.

We have our to-do list, we have a decent overview of all the things we need to do, and we empty our inboxes (both physical and metaphorical) on a regular basis, but what is the right thing to do next? And if something lands on my desk, does it mean that I have to deal with it right away rather than continue doing what I was working on?

This course is for you if you are ambitious, have the best intentions, say “yes” to others more than what might be good for you in the long-run, and then have to suffer the consequences of doing so. It is also for all of you who want to prioritize consciously and be able to accept or decline offers and requests without regrets. Prioritization is more a skill than a talent, and we can all do a handful of things to make it easier for ourselves to prioritize deliberately and accurately – not only do what might feel good and seem appropriate at the moment but what will be beneficial in the long-run as well.

"Enjoyed every single lesson, got time to try three of the exercises but looking to implement at least two more of them. Love David's system"

This course is for everyone who sometimes need to make decisions based on facts and want to avoid jumping to the wrong conclusions. You will learn about common thought traps in science, mathematics and human reasoning, and how to avoid them. Among other things, the course will teach you:

- How to become pregnant from kisses- Why almost nothing has been scientifically proven- How you can reach the conclusion that 150% of new companies are run by chauvinists- Why you should never look at the right side of a restaurant menu

Even if the course will not be able to rescue you from all possible misjudgements, it can hopefully keep you from making a couple of bad decisions. In fact, why take the risk? Join the class!

Having a hard time getting started with work that needs to get done? Do you wait until the last moment before you start working? Procrastination, or consciously postponing what should be done today, is less about personal traits than it is about behavior. In the same way that you once learned to always deal with tasks at the last moment, you can learn to act differently. With the help of psychological insights about motivation, rewards, and distractions you can increase the probability of completing your tasks - on time.

In this course, you will receive practical tips on how to change your approach to learned behavioral patterns, as well as how to achieve your goals through a better structure, time management and problem-solving. Getting things done on time doesn’t have to be exhausting - things like coffee breaks, encouragement and friends are some pleasant ways of making your tasks easier to deal with.

This course is based on scientific studies by leading researchers in the fields of motivation, goal setting, and procrastination. You will be provided with exercises and principles of treatment from cognitive behavioral therapy within areas such as stress management and procrastination.

The creator of this course, Alexander Rozental, is a licensed psychologist and a researcher at University College London.
